Godsmack announced today the upcoming release of a live album, Live at Mohegan Sun.

The announcement, which comes ahead of an upcoming headlining tour with Stone Temple Pilots, comes at a pivotal time in the band’s life cycle. The group underwent significant lineup changes last year when guitarist Tommy Rombola and drummer Shannon Larkin retired from the band.

And this live recording, tracked October 26, 2024, marks the original lineup’s final performance—a hometown show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Singer Sully Erna said in a statement, “It was just closing one chapter and welcoming whatever the new version of our career may be.”

That next chapter? The Rise of Rock World Tour 2026 with special guests Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy. 

Erna continued, “I haven’t been this excited about a tour in a really long time, simply because the bands that we chose to take out with us are real rock bands that have real musicians that play real instruments.”

“Between Godsmack and Stone Temple Pilots, it’s going to be a hit factory.”
